Anyone done this to any Zastava action?

What's entailed, other than a ream job, to make it feed?

Don't ruin a Whitworth!

Both of my Whitworth .458WinMags had 3.4" mag box length.

One of mine was kept original except to oil-finish the decent wood of its "safari stock."

The other says Whitworth on the action but it came to me as a slick-barreled factory-stamped .458WinMag. It got opened up to 3.6" box length by a gunsmith, then gray parkerized and stuck in a Brown Precision stock with barrel lug and sights added.

You speak as if your .458 Whitworth has a long box already. Mine were not opened up by the factory, but came as standard M98 length.

Getting one of those and having a gunsmith install proper bottom metal the proper way ... is the way to go.

All the ones I've seen the 458 was a 3.4" and the 375 3.6 opened mostly in the front.

My experience too, but Ray Atkinson used to argue with me about your point and mine. He insisted the .458WinMag Whitworth came with a 3.6" box length.

3.4" box ...

requires you make a 3.7 box or
run a 458 AR reamer in it!
